I have no idea what those tropes would be. 

The benglas get media coverage inline with what they are.  A historically bad franchise with 0 super bowl wins,  they have had small windows of success, who currently have some great offensive pieces and a lot of deficiencies.

Yep.

For the most part, Bengals are a franchise that had teams making playoffs but very few playoff wins.

Seasons with 1+ playoff wins:
1981 (2-1, lost SB)
1988 (2-1, lost SB)
1990 (1-1, lost divisional rd)
2021 (3-1, lost SB)
2022 (2-1, lost AFCCG)

When the franchise goes back to 1968 and 57 seasons, only 5 seasons with 1+ playoff wins, 0 SB wins, and only 10 playoff wins total really does not look good when 
compared to many of the other franchises.

I still have optimism for Burrow and Chase to bring home the trophy, but I may start losing hope if they go another 2-3 years not getting back to deep in the postseason again in that time.
